"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Here is the quilt that Handi made. My friend Lily, now 10, helped with the quilt that I sent to Handi, so I asked Handi to make a quilt to send to Lily. We visited Lily and her family yesterday so I was able to take this photo of the quilt, which is being put to use with the dolls. Handi chose perfect colours for their front room, and used lovely soft wadding means the quilt wraps up snugly around the dolls.

I only saw the pictures of you and your big quilt yesterday. I was just so thrilled to see you looking so happy and excited under it!

Isn't the quilt Handi made sweet! What makes it extra special is that she chose a straightforward design so she could start her granddaughters off using the sewing machine. Idea for a theme - make a quilt with and/or for a child - then the quilts really will end up with dolls.

Thanks for finding it. I am swamped for the next couple of days. Meeting with new lawyer tomorrow and hoping to get rid of the idiot who is now "representing" me. Then in the afternoon, must meet with SBA inspector at the house and to review what else is needed. So for now, I am in paperwork purgatory ... see you again when I come up for air!
